Shanto was asked to find the value of 7/12 of a sum of money.Instead of multiplying the same by 7/12, he divided it by 7/12 and his answer exceeded the correct answer by 95. The correct answer is
- A. 48
- B. 48
- C. 48
- D. 48
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Let , Money = x
x/(7/12) - x * (7/12) = 95
x* 12/7 - 7x / 12 = 95
( 12x * 12 - 7x * 7 ) / 84 = 95
95x = 95 * 84
x = 84
84 * 7/12 = 49
